NiceRated 5 out of 5 stars

It works. I don't know why Mozilla don't include Google search. In fact, I believe previous versions did include it, because on my older machine with an old installation of Thunderbird I can see Google in the drop-down list. One more nice thing, after installing this extension it's ok to remove it, the Google entry remains in the list. Nice!

Thank you but WHY?Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am grateful to the author for writing a plug-in to fill a glaring omission on mozilla's part. However, the real question is why this was necessary? It smacks of political infighting between mozilla and google. Why?

I had a "Tools" menu. I probably do, but after chasing through a mess of menus and not finding it, I get tired and cranky. I know you are trying to be pure in spirit and true to the values of open source and all, but I just want to get my job done and this purity c**p gets in the way and instructions that don't work make it all the worse.

Works after tweaking and restartRated 4 out of 5 stars

After installing the add on it was not showing Google as option to search. I resorted to opening the Config Editor and replaced Bing entries with Google as primary search engine before everything worked correctly.

Works just fineRated 4 out of 5 stars

I didn't even know Thunderbird had a web search until today when I accidentally clicked on something and discovered it could search Bing. Since I hate Bing I decided on principle to find a way to get rid of it. I installed this, and now I can search with Google if I want to.

I don't know what that other reviewer is going on about. How can you give one star to something that does exactly what it says it does?

Beware: Not direct google searchRated 1 out of 5 stars

This add-on installs a URL that goes to a Standard8 domain, not directly to Google. I would suggest following the manual instructions on the MozillaZine KB article. Removing it did seem to restore things properly.
